    If its not laptop, but PC, some motherboards can be dumped using flashrom under linux.
    That type of bios / motherboard do you have?

        Try to use attached tool, but AFAIK, it cannot save EC, only main BIOS.

          note that it doesn`t work very well for all kind of laptops... dumping with programer is the best way...

                  This is what i thought, cause i don't see how can you dump using an app for a hardware reader/writer !

                    This is the hardware I use, although the clip I bought had been modified and I put a weaker spring in it. I only use it for chips off the board. The software I downloaded from this forum, I can provide a copy if you want.

                      Thanks Buddy,
                      but i already have a hardware reader/writer and even the same clip.
                      What i am trying to achieve, is to dump/read the bios on a working laptop, without the need of disassemble it.

                        I need a BIOS dump for the Samsung S49CG934SU monitor
                        by Habble7
                        The Samsung S49CG934SU monitor does not power on - no LED indicator activity and no response to power button. However, when 21V power is connected, it immediately draws 0.8A of current with no display output. The motherboard processor gets warm, and there is continuous reading activity from the W25Q128BV BIOS chip.

                        Suspected Cause:
                        I suspect the BIOS may have been corrupted during a power interruption while updating the firmware. The official website provides firmware updates, but they can only be installed via USB flash drive.

                        Troubleshooting Attempts:

                        MSI PRO B660M-G DDR4 - real bios dump from board needed (no stock bios)
                        by DynaxSC
                        Hi, I have an MSI PRO B660M-G DDR4 board with damaged BIOS and i need a bios dump from a real board, along with MAC, UUID and Serial Number info (eg. a BIOS screenshot and pictures from the board stickers).

                        I need to reconstruct the bios on my board, based on another bios image form a real board - meaning a bios image containing MAC address, UUID and Serial number. A stock BIOS is not suffiecient, as it is impossible to discover where the MAC, UUID and SerialNumber are stored. Tried with a similar board, but there are too much differences, and the stock BIOS is missing a lot of...

                        This laptop is the same laptop I was working on in this thread and I wasn't sure if I should post a new topic or post in that thread because I already solved the issue that thread was discussing and this is a completely different issue although it is dealing with the same laptop. I decided to make a new thread since it's a new issue, but please move if I made a mistake.

                        Who has a MSI Z590 PRO WIFI - Need BIOS dump ?
                        by DynaxSC
                        Hi,

                        I need a BIOS dump for MSI Z590 PRO WIFI from a real physical board, along with MAC address and serial no.

                        It must be a dump from a physical board, as it contains personalized data eg. MAC Address, UUID, Serial no.

                        I have a board which has lost the BIOS contents, I have the MAC and serial to this board, and need to insert it into the another BIOS image. To do it, I need to have a real image from a real board, as the images from the MSI site are without this data. The only way to find where MAC/UUID/Serial is located in the BIOS is to have a bios...

                        Anycubic Photon 5.5 3D printer 25Q32 flashrom dump needed
                        by re-atari
                        Hello all, as the title says, I'm very much in need of a valid firmware dump of a Anycubic Photon 5.5 3D resin printer. It's stored in a Winbond 25Q32, so it's 4Mbyte.

                        Here's a little background for my request. A few weeks ago I bought this 3D printer from a guy who had moved on to a PLA printer. I got it at a vey reasonable price, as it was in a defective state. The seller told me that he had experienced a power failure during a firmware upgrade, after which the printer appeared to be dead. He thought the firmware was corrupted in such a way that the printer was now bricked. As he...
